Did you keep up with The Backrooms or did you get bored of it too?
I think the problem was that I got too into it and when 2 other channels popped up that were doing extremely similar content at a faster clip and just got burnt out on it. These other channels even appeared to have the blessing of Kane Pixels, which I think might have been a mistake on his part in the long run despite how into it everybody seemed in the beginning.
After a while it just started becoming watching 10 or 20 minute videos with the same nothing happening in between the actual cool shit they were eventually getting around to showing. Like 20 minutes just burned for 30 seconds of interesting stuff if you were lucky bad.
I think I finally just hit my limit, and I'd rather watch somebody cover the whole thing when it's over. Let them edit it all down to 90 minutes and cut out the 80-90% of stuff that was just watching somebody walk in a yellow corridor with tape on the floor, while breathing heavy and or saying "what the f man" over and over again..
I actually just had Kane Pixels show up with a new video within the last month or two on my feed, but I didn't even bother because I'd have to figure out how far back I needed to go to catch up and it just feels like homework to me at this point.
Maybe I should go back and watch his stuff though, and just ignore the copycat channels. Probably the fair thing to do since it was he who started this and it was so good at the beginning.

I switched off after some time but I like the concept, that spooky world, very indie film creation and first person perspective and tells a story like a video game concept.
you could say Backrooms maybe draws from Quarantine [Rec] concept or Blair Witch or video games but its a revival of something while pushing new visual ideas, 'The Platform' or Thousand Suns, Naboer aka Next Door from Norway, The Shining or 1408, or Twin Peals or 'Dark City' but everything goes back to 'Dark City'
1899 TV series probably can be classed as its own thing, lost at sea but something is not real...follow the "White Rabbit"
a movie 'The Endless film' goes into some of that world of bizarre
before 'Backrooms' there are scenes in Twin Peaks Fire Away With Me that are very 'Backrooms'
Backrooms
its helped push the weird, experimental again
When AI starts helping film makers and really helping their story board concepts and soundscape and CGI that's when its really going to take off
Skinamarink a 2022 Canadian experimental horror film ...possibly independent of Backrooms
'Mandy'
Bug a Thousand Suns
Vivarium
A THOUSAND SUNS - scifi short
with a long period of unknowns you could argue the film 'Moon' 2009 is very much like Backrooms
The Signal 2014 film they made it for soemthing like 3 million quid, underground research, alien plot, it would have done well if DVD sales didn't crash and streaming and illegal downloads had not killed everything
Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Pirates of the Caribbean, Shrek 2, The Dark Knight...the last big sales of DVD was 10 years back with Frozen 2014 just as the market started to crash ...Signal would have done better in other years.
Is Hardcore Henry like Backrooms...maybe I don't know maybe you could class it as a movie very much like Backrooms.
or maybe Severance TV show was inspired by Backrooms

Backrooms reminds us of what film once was when it was less defined and more creative.
that weird art world between experimental film and 'Movie Shorts'...and fully fleshed out movie products and concepts that have become their own style and franchises.

Moon was a great movie.
It was also the first movie I saw in full on a flat screen TV the 2nd time I watched it with my brother when he got his first large screen, and that's always going to be memorable to me because I thought to myself it was almost like watching a completely different movie at 1080 than it was on my old man's 32" tube TV when I first watched it.
I still think I might go back and catch up on all of Kane Pixel's stuff now, and ignore the other channels. I think I just started watching too much of it and I got bored of watching walking simulators with ugly yellow walls and floors.

Nice. I saw that in my feed today but I didn't watch it.
Kind of lost interest in it over time as the 2 big channels making them just seemed to start making them drag on and on and on...
Do you know if this is going to basically be a full movie of what Kane Pixel's has already done (maybe plus some), but maybe with improved graphics in certain parts and a lot of editing to crop out all the down time.
I'd be stoked to see it if that's what this is.
